Building Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment Expertise at Selected HBCU Institutions (HBCU-CREA)

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科生计划（HBCU-UP）支持旨在提高HBCU科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师研究能力的会议。该中心文化响应评价和评估（CREA）在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-尚潘将进行会前专业发展研讨会和随后的会议在2017年CREA会议，这将直接有利于教师和管理人员在HBCU。CREA 2017将于2017年9月27日至29日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。专业发展活动旨在支持机构努力加强STEM研究和评估的竞争力，并促进相关机构在扩大参与研究方面的能力。选定的与会者将获得外部评估专业知识，支持在校园内实施文化和背景相关的评估和评估实践，并介绍给有兴趣在未来研究项目上合作的教师和顾问。通过提供专业发展，在HBCU研究人员社区内建立机构能力和专门知识，以进行文化敏感的评价和评估，该项目大大有助于扩大参与的知识体系，并确保项目的评价是严格的，文化敏感的，并与背景相关。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) supports conferences that seek to increase the research capacity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty at HBCUs. The Center for Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment (CREA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign will conduct a preconference professional development workshop and subsequent conference sessions at the 2017 CREA conference, which will directly benefit faculty and administrators at HBCUs. CREA 2017 will be held in Chicago, Illinois from September 27-29, 2017.The professional development activities are designed to support institutional efforts to strengthen competitiveness for research and evaluation in STEM and promote related institutional capacity in broadening participation research. Selected conference participants will gain access to external evaluation expertise, support in implementing culturally and contextually relevant assessment and evaluation practices on their campuses, and be introduced to faculty and consultants interested in collaborating on future research projects. By providing professional development that builds institutional capacity and expertise within the HBCU community of researchers to conduct culturally responsive evaluations and assessments, this projects contributes significantly to the body of knowledge related to broadening participation and ensures evaluations of projects are rigorous, culturally responsive, and contextually relevant.
